Back to School Prayer
for Educators
“And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ.”
As a new school year begins, allow prayer to center your heart and align your purpose as a Kingdom-minded educator. May we walk in our calling with grace, power, and joy.
Take a moment to pray this aloud over your classroom. Then consider sharing it with a fellow teacher or parent to ignite unified prayer across your school.
Father,
I praise you for the many gifts that come with our heavenly calling. Thank you for being near and for encouraging me to start this school year with you. Please continue to highlight the spiritual gifts, especially joy, that are needed in the classroom. For those who have turned away from you, and for those who are being led astray, please bring them back to your side with a garment of praise.
For your saints assigned to education, grant us both spiritual and practical competence to prepare these students according to the plans you have for them. You know all, and you see all. Please call these students and their parents to your side. Help my coworkers to awaken to your saving grace.
In Jesus' name, I pray.
